There are further rumours, and I stress *rumours*:

One is that Dave Brock will be on holiday for a fortnight from the 28th
and that Badam99 will happen even later in September in order to ensure
that Hawkwind can appear.

No sign of this on the Badam99 web site. It would also mean that the
Edinburgh Festival reunion gig and the Brixton reunion gigs aren't going
to happen.

The recurring rumour that Lemmy won't appear because of an argument
about travel costs is also doing the rounds again.

Given that some of us have to decide whether to ask for a Badam99 refund
or exchange the tickets for a chance to see a Hawkwind reunion, never
mind plan travel and leave from work, it would be very useful if someone
could post Hawkwind's position regarding these gigs.
